Since Tsuneshiro conquered the northern kingdom and put down the Liangwang Rebellion, more and more young generals from aristocratic families have been promoted and deployed. Apart from some dudes, there are also many people from these aristocratic families who are studying and practicing martial arts, inspiring themselves in troubled times.
Make a name for yourself.
This time, the young general from an aristocratic family who was sent to Tongcheng to win over was named Liu Tong. He was a son of Lao Zhongde and was quite talented in the inner city.
At this time, Liu Tong decided on this plan after having a secret discussion with Huo Fu. He wanted to use Huo Fu to pretend to surrender to Shu and remove the secret hall in Western Shu.
"Surround!" Liu Tong scowled, drawing his knife and pointing angrily.
In front, Cao Yonghe, the only remaining dead soldier, quickly jumped onto the top of the carriage with a knife after falling off his horse.
At this time, Cao Yong's face looked relaxed.
In the end, he was not fooled and told the whereabouts of the secret hall. It was a pity that those brothers died in vain in a foreign country.
"Bow array!" Huo Fu was furious.
"Brother Cao, if you tell me the whereabouts of the secret hall, I, Huo Fu, will never treat you badly. I have a daughter from the Huo family who can also marry you. When the time comes, you can follow me in the south and north, and become the dragon of Beiyu.
Minister——"
"General Huo, Liu Tong is late!" Liu Tong, a young general from an aristocratic family, with four to five hundred people, also hurriedly surrounded him.
"General Huo, don't worry. I, Liu Tong, have all the tricks and magic medicine to force him to reveal the location of the secret hall."
Huo Fu narrowed his eyes and looked at the carriage.
"Brother Cao, why are you doing this? I have always admired you and even gave you a sword as a gift."
Cha.
Beside Cao Yong, another dead soldier was shot to death by two arrows and fell off the carriage.
Cao Yong had no expression on his face.
"Let me think about it."
"Those who surrender abandon their swords!" Liu Tong shouted angrily.
Cao Yong abandoned his sword and looked in the direction of Huo Fu, "If I tell you, can I make you a camp general in Beiyu?"
Huo Fu put down his sword and wrapped his cloak again with a smile. Beside him, Liu Tong also smiled.
"Brother Liu, please go over there. This matter depends on you. You should be the first to take the credit for this time."
Liu Tong nodded happily.
"When General Huo enters Beiyu in the future, I will definitely help him and give him a few kind words."
Cao Yong in front of him has even given up his sword, so what else can he do?
Cao Yong jumped off the carriage, looked at Huo Fu, and sighed in his heart. He finally understood why the main hall wanted to kill this person. Keeping such a person alive must be a great threat to Xi Shu.
"Brother Cao... Let's talk. When the time comes, I will make you a camp general. There will be no problem at all." Liu Tong approached with a knife, obviously still on guard.
Huo Fu half-closed his eyes and took a few steps back.
Cao Yong raised his head and glanced at the sky, "General, have you ever heard of Mr. Chen from Chenjiaqiao in Western Shu?"
"Just tell me the location of the secret hall."
Cao Yong's throat rolled, and he smiled. When he came closer, he suddenly bit Liu Tong's neck.
Liu Tong roared angrily, stumbled away, and stabbed Cao Yong in the abdomen.
"Starting with Mr. Chen... I would like to be the Lord's eyes and ears."
Cao Yong's facial features were bleeding, and his face turned deathly blue. In the end, he still stared, moved his mouth, spit out a cloud of blood mist, and then he leaned up and fell on the snow.
Liu Tong clutched his neck in pain, his face turned blue, he staggered a few times, and died on the spot.
Huo Fu raised his legs silently, picked up a sword on the ground, walked up to Cao Yong, opened his mouth, and after looking at him for a few times, he stood there for a long time.
"The head of the family...General Liu Tong was poisoned and died."
"Of course, there must be poison hidden in the mouth of the dead soldier. General Liu was too careless. What I didn't expect was that Cao Yongsheng was afraid of being revived, so he leaked the secret and bit his tongue before he died.
These Xishu people are all desperadoes."
"I, Huo Fu, almost died here in order to help Beiyu kill the secret gang."
The wind and snow howled.
"Farewell to Leader Cao." Not far away, six or seven dead Night Owl warriors were hiding in silence, looking sad.
Cao Yong didn't give the order, so they didn't go there. But they never thought that they really guessed it right. In order to surrender to Beiyu, Huo Fu even thought of making a meritorious service as a certificate of surrender.
"Return to Tongcheng and wait for the next secret order from the main hall. In addition, we will wait for an opportunity to poison Huo Fu."
"Inform Xiaertang that what happened to leader Cao, Huo Fu has become the enemy of Western Shu. Everyone can find him and kill him."
…
Two days later, Tsuneshiro received the information in the inner city with a sigh on his face.
"Another member of Lao Zhongde's family died."
"Huo Fu is a man who can be reused but not relied on." Chang Sheng stood aside and frowned, "There is nothing wrong with selling for a price, and there is nothing wrong with not wanting to be the deputy governor. But such a city is really a man of power.
man of."
"Changsheng, do you need it?"
"Yes, if you want to practice navy, Huo Fu is indispensable. But the lord needs to order that all members of Huo Fu's family move to Changyang as hostages. In addition, except for Huo Fu, other members of the Huo family are not allowed to
Give them positions of real power.”
"Will he be angry?"
"There are only Beiyu and Xishu in the world. He offended Xishu, so he can only stay in Beiyu. According to me, he is a bit eager for quick success."
"In addition, Xi Shu will definitely try their best to kill Huo Fu. The iron execution platform in the inner city should also be prepared in advance."
"Chang Sheng, you damn... are becoming less and less like a scholar."
"The teacher chose me, so I can only do my best and don't dare to make any mistakes."
Tsuneishiro nodded.
"Then tell me, my boss asked me to tell you whether I should go or not."
"My lord has decided to go. Even if I don't let him, I still won't be able to defeat him." Chang Sheng answered honestly.
"Damn it, don't be like old Zhongde, he has been nagging me for more than ten years——"
Before he could finish his sentence, Changshiro began to sigh silently, "I'm willing to keep nagging me for another twenty or thirty years."
Chang Sheng was beside him, and there was sadness in his eyes.
"Collect the body of Cao Yong and send it back to Xishu together when you leave. As for Huo Fu, as you said, give him a naval commander to help train the Beiyu Navy. Of course, if he is
Those who are seeking fame will be dragged down and chopped immediately."
"I, Chang Shiro, dislike dirty people the most in my life, but I have to use these dirty people."
"My lord, remember not to enter Shu. The place to meet the King of Shu can be in Kezhou. At that time, I will arrange for some people on the iron torture platform -"
"Chang Sheng, no need." Chang Silang waved his hand, "Whether it's you or the old Zhongde in heaven, let me be wild for the last time. After meeting the little boss this time, I will be honest and frank. Next time, I will
Let’s fight on the battlefield.”
"I'm not afraid of your jokes. Every time I have a dream in the past two days, I will think of a few years ago, when the little boss brought a group of villagers to my Changjia Town and happily bought rice with me. Also
That stupid tiger will drag Chang Wei's hand and beg for roast chicken."
"I have reached this step, and he has also reached this step. This may be the result that Xiao Taotao wants to see the most, but it may also be the result that he least wants to see."
"But Lao Zhongde also told me that in fighting for the world, there are no old friends, only enemies."
Tsuneshiro crushed the tea cup in his hand, let go of his hand, and slowly threw the blood-stained porcelain piece on the ground.
